Where is Photoshop Help?

I can't remember the last time I used Photoshop Help because I don't use Photoshop much. Tried it today and nothing happens. My menu bar switches from Photoshop to Adobe Help Center but no Help window opens in Safari or anywhere else. Help Prefs are set to U.S. and English. I'm running CS2 and 10.4.11. Is Help not an online service? Am I supposed to be opening a pdf or inserting a DVD? Could anyone refresh my memory on how this is supposed to work? Thanks.

I seem to remember that there was an update for Help for CS2.
Check Adobe's Downloads to make sure that your CS2 programs are fully up to date.
This may be what you need:

  • Where is photoshop CS6 help?

    Where is photoshop CS6 help? Is it only on-line? Isn't there a version stored onto my mac?

    Unfortunately, your help is only online. I say unfortunately, because they can drop it at any time. I have CS5, and when I click Help, it goes to help for CS6, which has a lot of changes in some apps. At least your version is still online.
    Ahhh... the good old days with actual paper manuals. They couldn't take those away from you.

  • Where is the "Photoshop Help Folder" located on the Mac?

    Hi all,
    I am trying to install Strata 3D tryout and it is asking for the location of the "Additional How To Content" folder, inside the "Photoshop Help Folder". I cannot find the "Photoshop Help Folder"... can someone tell me where it is located?
    Thanks a lot in advance for your assistance:)
    Christine

    If you are not online and choose help, you'll get a html-based and non-updated version that's being read from your Libraries' Application Support folder.
    If you want a help.pdf you can get it here:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/photoshop_cs4_help.pdf
    But by using the online version you're always up to date with Adobe, as probably is intended hence the help setup.

  • Where is Photoshop CS4 Help???

    Where is the Photoshop Help for CS4? When I click on Help/Photoshop Help I get a browser opening up to some "community" crap. Community is fine but I DIDN'T CLICK FOR COMMUNITY. I'm at work and working against the clock and when I click on Help I need the Help! This is outrageous. Someone please tell me I'm wrong and I can install in-product help somehow.

    Problem is you cannot really get to the local help files unless you unhook the machine from the network and have then no email, no browsing, no forums, no contact with the surrounding world. So that is really not an option if you are on a broadband that is always connected. Unless you set Photoshop itself to stay offline (see below).
    Problem also is that you don't really get to the Help files by choosing Help in the application but you get to the communal Help and have to click yet once more at link in upper righthand corner (really not all that visible either) to get to the actual Help files.
    Problem also is you cannot search the Help files and only find results for CS4 and Photoshop (or whichever other CS4 application you are searching fro Help for) and from the Help files - you get all kinds of other results searching the Help files. Unless you go offline.
    Even if you bookmark the page as mentioned above, you are unable to search the Help texts only. The search is too wide and does not restrict itself to for instance Photoshop CS4 only. It also gives you results for CS2 and other versions... and also for Lightroom, the Layers Magazine and other stuff.
    So, Help from inside a CS4 application does presently not work the way you expect it and it is really hard to drill down to only the area you are looking for to find any information for what you looked for in the first place.
    Pressing F1 (as mentioned above) only lowers the intensity of the light of the display - it does not take you to the Help files.
    It might be a new way to access Help. Problem is it doesn't really work all that well presently. The idea to have the most actual Help files online is fine. If you ever get to those texts... I sure never do no matter which tricks I try.
    Presently one alternative is to download the pdf help-file and search within that. The rest is presently quite "broken" as I see it. Unless you set Photoshop CS4 to stay offline (read on).
    To set Photoshop CS4 to keep offline is not all that easy to find the option for. Go to Window, Extensions, Connection. Click the dropdown arrow in the dialog that opens and choose Offline options. Tick Keep me offline and click OK. Only then will you be able to browse the Helpfiles locally on your machine.

  • Where the %^)(! is the index in Photoshop Help?

    There was a time when every Adobe product came with a simple pdf manual. Simple questions could be easily asked of it. It would take a few seconds to find out a keyboard shortcut or where they moved that feature to. Now it takes 20 minutes of searching, and ultimately Googling "Anyone know how to do such-and-such?"

    Think the most recent Photoshop Help in PDF is this one: http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/photoshop_reference.pdf
    And yes, I pretty much google everything, too.

  • Where is photoshop elements 11 catalog files stored in windows 7 for carbonite to back up?

    Where is photoshop elements 11 catalog files stored in windows 7 for carbonite to back up?  Also any other files besides the pictures that I should back up?

    Very important : your catalog does not contain your pictures. They are where you have imported them in your computer. If they are all under a master folder like 'My Pictures' or 'Pictures', you should set your backup software to backup those folders.
    The catalog itself is mainly a database keeping all the information about your pictures : location, keywords, ratings, albums...
    It's a folder containing the dababase and several other components. You find its location looking in the help section, system info.
    The integrated backup / restore process in Elements saves both your media files and the catalog.

  • Where does Photoshop get date info?

    Where does Photoshop (and Bridge) pull the timestamp information it uses for "date modified" from?
    The time/date on my computer (from the system tray) are correct, but when I work on pictures they get a "date modified" stamp of February, 2036. New files created through Bridge get the same timestamp.
    Where do I fix this?
    TIA for your help.

    Never mind. I messed with it a while and finally stumbled on the fix. Thanks anyway!

  • Why can't we get Adobe Photoshop help on the weekends. If I buy it I should be able to use it.

    Why can't we get Adobe Photoshop help on the weekends. If I buy it I should be able to use it.

    To all frustrated Photoshop users:
    As has been pointed out, the Adobe Photoshop Forum is NOT staffed by Adobe employees (though a few engineers DO stop by, when they have the time), and we are but users, such as yourself. The difference is that many users here have decades of experience with Ps, and can often solve all sorts of issues, of a technical nature.
    Ranting, and listing bad experiences with Adobe Technical Support (or Customer Support), will NOT reach Adobe - just other users, who might have also had negative experiences with Adobe T/S, but who are powerless to change anything, at a corporate level - also noted by others in this thread.
    We, as users, have no access to any communications that you might have had with T/S - no phone logs, no case numbers, nothing. All that we have is what YOU provide us, regarding YOUR problem. In that vein, if you read this FAQ Entry, plus the one linked in Station_Two's Reply above, and clearly state YOUR problem with the program, someone will attempt to help you with it: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4587299#4587299
    Please be patient, as we are all volunteers (even the Adobe engineers come here on their own time - it's most likely not part of their job descriptions), and drop by the forum, when we have a moment. Many users DO have "day jobs," and face client deadlines. They might not get by that often, and then with breaks in timing, that can extend for days. This is not a "live chat room," where "operators are standing by." However, with the number of contributing users here, it should not take too long, before someone DOES reply to your post. If they have questions, please answer them, to the best of your abilities, and do not hesitate to ask for clarifications, if you are not sure what they are asking, or where to obtain that information. Also, please be courteous, when replying to the users, who are donating their time - they get zero, beyond the satisfaction of helping other users get answers and solutions. If they DO help, which is likely, a simple "thank you," is the best that they can receive. If they DO help, please take a moment to let them know, and also use the "Correct," and "Helpful" buttons in the forum, to let Adobe Corporate know that you got help in the Adobe Forums - they DO count those numbers, though they do not monitor these forums.
    Good luck, and many feel that the help FROM the Adobe products forums, is much better, than from Adobe Technical Support.

  • Photoshop help will no longer display

    For a long tine I have had cs2 v9 installed on my win7 64bit desktop computer.
    Since yesterday the photoshop help (F1) will not display - though the bottom row icon is shown. (clicking this icon causes the mouse pointer to whirl but nothing happens).
    What have I done??:-  I was playing around with a string of video frames to make an animation. I was flicking backa nd forth between Photoshop and Image Ready and at one time I tried to export to Flash SWF.
    I've tried restroring my computer to a time before I was messing around with the video frames, but stil cannot access Photoshop Help (either through the menu or F1).
    any and all  help welcome
    regards

  • HT5654 where is the help menu in itunes

    where is the help menu on the itunes page

    "The fact that people have to resort to searching on the internet just to find the help menu is a testament to the failure of iTunes"
    Good point (though I wouldn't go as far as "failure").  It is surprising that Apple haven't followed the conventions used (for example) in Microsoft's Office products where Help (via the question-mark-in-a-circle icon) is always available in the UI irrespective of the user's choices of enabling/disabling the menu bar, toolbars, ribbon, etc.  Having the menu bar default to disabled also seems counter-productive - Apple may see this as "simplification" but I can't imagine that any users, other than those who make the bare minimum use of iTunes, would not want to have the functions available via the menus available at all time.
    https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html allows you to submit feedback with respect to bugs, errors, omissions, and enhancements to the iTunes development team (though the degree to which this influences development is a matter of conjecture).

  • Would Photoshop help improve the look of my video? [was: New to this]

    Not sure if I already posted this but would photoshop help imporve the look of my video?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n94-fqYPHWc

    I agree with Mylenium. Premiere Elements would be a better program for the post-production.
    As for shooting, I would use a background, as those wall plates/outlets really draw the eye. A nice piece of dark grey, non-glossy fabric, like perhaps a velvet, could be taped over the wall, behind your subject. If possible, move the subject a bit farther from any background.
    Do not be afraid of composing the subject more tightly, so that one sees more of them, and less background. Even with a "talking head" shot, you can get much tighter with the framing.
    I would also go for a bit more controlled lighting on your subject. Even placing a white card, or sheet to one side, just to fill in the face, would be better. Just keep it out of the coverage of the camera. A piece of foamcore, or Gator-foam, would work well. Angle it to fill that side of the subject's face.
    The audio was recorded in a fairly "hard," or "live" environment. If the mic is camera-mounted, think about hanging some soft fabric, in a V, behind the camera and operator. The camera would be in the apex of the V. A few quilts would work fine. That should help remove the slight echo of the room, and "soften" the sound a bit.
    Good luck, and hope those ideas help.
